Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York

A divisive classic that splits opinion between masterful, classy sophistication and 'old man' datedness. Some find it a timeless, versatile masterpiece, while others are put off by its traditional, powdery nature or performance issues in newer formulations.

Our Verdict - Incitatus

This one's a proper wild ride - Incitatus doesn't hold back, bringing an intense, almost brutal, opening before settling into something powerfully unique. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it beast, so don't even think about a blind buy.

Date

Given its 'atomic longevity' and potent sillage, Incitatus is far too intense for office wear. Its commanding, sophisticated leather and resin accords make it suitable for formal evening events or dates where you want to make a bold statement.
